🔻 Russian sources reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense has started work on a new medal to be awarded to infantrymen who have shown outstanding efforts on the front and has published an official article on the subject. ***Russian sources say;*** "An article was published in the official journal of the Russian Ministry of Defense with a proposal to introduce an award for stormtroopers, following the Wehrmacht model The publication was published on January 13 in the magazine “Army Collection”, which is published by the military department. The authors of the article write about the “urgent need” for insignia that stormtroopers would receive by decision of commanders “directly on the battlefield.” The text says that “in the Wehrmacht, the issue of awards was well thought out and carefully monitored,” and a departmental insignia was provided for stormtroopers — the infantry assault badge." The Wehrmacht was the armed forces of Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1945. It consisted of the Heer (Land Forces), the Kriegsmarine (Naval Forces) and the Luftwaffe (Air Force), which were the "Waffenträger der Nation" (Weaponry of the Nation).
